Ginou Choueiri, a Lebanese-born interdisciplinary artist, works across painting, performance, installation, and moving image. Her visual vocabulary spans different times and cultures, drawing on elements from pop culture, fairy tales, mass media and mythology to generate new meanings through layering, juxtaposition, and reinterpretation. Choueiri is interested in transforming visual signifiers from diverse sources into new narratives that explore in-between spaces—where the inner and outer, personal and universal, conscious and unconscious, visible and invisible, real and imaginary intersect.
Choueiri holds an MA in Artist Film and Moving Image from Goldsmiths, University of London, where she was awarded the Warden’s Prize for her documentary film Rhythm of Forgetting. The film premiered at DocLisboa and went on to receive a Special Jury Mention at the DokuBaku Film Festival (2021) and the Best Director award at the Beirut International Women Film Festival (2021). Her video works have also screened internationally at festivals, including the Mizna Twin Cities Film Festival (2022), the Arab National Museum Annual Film Festival (2021), and the Selección Arte Biennale in Cuba (2019).
Choueiri’s visual artworks have been exhibited internationally. Exhibitions include Postcard from Lebanon at NX Records (London, UK, 2018), Potato Revolution at the Williamsburg Art Center (New York, 2019), and ArtFactum (Lebanon, 2013). Nomad's Land as part of Urban Nomads (Portugal, 2010), Inception, curated by Marianne Nems, at Mark Hachem Gallery (Lebanon, 2011), Wheel of Dreams and Hopes and Doubts at the Fondazione Merz (Turin, 2009), and The Dome (Beirut, 2008). She also participated in Live Debris at Umam D&R (Lebanon, 2008). Her solo exhibitions include In Between a Lullaby and Dream at Art Lounge (Lebanon, 2010) and For Your Eyes Only at Al Markhiya Gallery (Qatar, 2010).
Choueiri’s work has been published in the book War and Other (Impossible) Possibilities: Thoughts on Arab History and Contemporary Art by Gregory Buchakjian and has been featured in several art publications, including Juxtapoz, Daily Art News, Art and Culture, Daily Art Press, and The Curator Magazine.
